Welcome to Pack 81, Austin Texas

Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 81.

Our pack meetings are normally held at 6:00 pm on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at Kocurek Elementary.  Pack 81 is part of the Thunderbird District, which belongs to the Capitol Area Council based in Austin, Texas. If you live in Austin, or plan to come to Austin, please contact us from our Contact Page for general comments or information about joining our Pack.

Is that you?? Are you the one we’re looking for??

If you are in kindergarten through the 5th grade and would like to have lots of fun camping, fishing, hiking, going on cool trips (spending a night on the USS Lexington aircraft carrier), building and racing cars, launching rockets, and meeting new friends…then Cub Scout Pack 81 is looking for YOU!

Now is the perfect time for you to sign up for Cub Scouts and have fun all year round!

What is Cub Scouts about?

  • Cub Scouting promotes: self-worth, imagination, self-discipline, team-work, cooperation, importance of family & friends, good citizenship and much, much more.

What kind of things do Cub Scouts do?

  • We go camping 4 times per year where the whole family can go and participate.
  • There are skills that Cub Scouts learn while having fun as well as making new friends, and learning about the world around them. There are many opportunities for the scouts and their families to enjoy the outdoors and each other. You and your child get the chance to experience all kinds of new and adventurous things.

Don’t have camping gear, don’t worry, we can tell you what you need to camp for the first time.

Come and Join in on the FUN!

Rocket Day this Saturday

Posted on Jun 17 2025 - 6:45pm

Don't forget we have rocket day this Saturday. The rocket kits will need to be glued together beforehand to have time to dry. They can also be painted & decorated if you wish but keep it to just paint and stickers, nothing that adds much weight or interferes with aerodynamics so that the rocket will still fly. Everyone will be able to launch their rocket at least twice with the engines the pack provides.

Crossover Ceremony Reminder

Posted on May 27 2025 - 7:43am

The Crossover Ceremony is Saturday May 31 from 10-1 PM at Dick Nichols park. 

This is a ceremony to celebrate all the Scouts (whether or not they earned their rank). They will be walking across a bridge to symbolize them advancing from one year of scouting to the next (Lions to Tigers, Tigers to Wolves, Wolves to Bears, etc). It is kind of like a graduation ceremony

Crossover

This year the pack will be providing the next rank's neckerchief to all scouts at crossover, you will not need to purchase and bring one. Scouts must be in class A uniform at the crossover. Please sign up if you will attend and list the side dish if you are bringing one. Don't forget chairs!

Posted on May 13 2025 - 8:00pm

We will have a hike with trash pickup this Sunday 3pm at Dick Nichols park to satisfy the service project requirement of the citizenship adventure. This will be the last chance to earn the adventure and possibly your rank before our last pack meting and crossover ceremony.  Please attend if you still need a service project.
